[Fujiko is chilling out in what people might recognize as decorated pretty much like Lupin's apartment. She's singing softly to herself and tinkering with something strange, albeit mechanical.]

They tried to draft us
But we don't wanna go
The man can't keep us down
Cuz oh yeah we know....

[She pauses and gives up on the song, focusing instead momentarily on snapping a spring into place, though this gets a quiet little "banzai!" of delight. Success; whatever it was.]

Tie em, push 'em down
The Energizer Bunny
Just keeps on runnin'
But there ain't no cure
For Luceti Winter Blues

[Cute frown and a pout.] No wait, that line's terrible... [Sighs and runs a hand through her hair, then taps her little mechanics into device, which mostly just looks extremely dangerous and flashes knifes and other cutting utensils on swinging springs before she taps it it again with a pen to make it stop and settle down.]

Writing music is really hard. "But there ain't no cure --
For Luceti's Barrier Blues??" [She just shrugs.] Someone else should do this, it's too hard. Tell Elvis I quit. Anyone want to write a protest song? I am going to stick to making earrings.

[Earrings. Yes, apparently that death trap from hell she's playing with? It's an earring. Of course it is. Who wouldn't wear such death traps on their ears right next to their head and necks... it's so shiny. And then the other "earring" goes off and just starts smoking.] Uh-oh... guess I shouldn't have borrowed Lupin's gunpowder. [She's just gonna... try to blow that out.... yeah... be back shortly; experiencing technical difficulties and all that.]

[Robin has pondered this video for a while. While she's not particularly driven to the creative arts, she certainly understands rhyme scheme and thinking about it is a distraction at any rate. Finally if you look at the video you will see a cat holding this note]

Luceti, Luceti, all year round
Malnosso try to crush us down
But through the terror and pain
Like ~~zombies~~ vengeful ghosts we rise again
And then one day, sink or swim
We'll tear those creatures limb from limb

[Oh.

Her.

fucking.

God.]

[Black cat from hell just wrote the spookiest damn lyrics ever.]

[alsdijoia5ohiQUGarj3oiarjap3i5rjoq3i5jolqi5hjsljaskjdhqURHQ46THWAHKR]

[Sorry Robin. Fujiko is trying her best not to look terrified.]

[And failing.]

[Okay Fujiko. No big deal. The Malnosso turned you into a wolf once. Clearly this is just a similar situation. Probably. Unless it's just genuinely a demon black cat from hell that just has an affinity for writing CREEPY AS FUCK ghost lyrics!!!]

[alijeaoi4rjoiiladkjalihurtaHLFdaHwukerhawukhsd]

[One problem at a time. DEEP BREATH. And in a very quiet timid voice--]

Um are you normally a cat?

[Not that she knows what she's going to do if the cat isn't... or is... either way, it doesn't solve the problem that this is now a whole new phobia. Fuuuuuu...]

Those lyrics were very... inventive. [Good. They're good. And if it wasn't from a cat she'd say they were the best. God damn cats.]

[she seems terrified. It is not a good sign then, that Robin wants to continue to frighten her. She really should resist the temptation. It would be cruel. Well perhaps.... She write's a bit.]

No. I am usually Nico Robin. Hello, Trap-san.

[Just don't mind the third eye appearing on her forehead. It's natural. Really]

[Screams.]

[God damn it Robin. EVEN HUMAN that is some freaky shit. As a cat... no there is nothing scarier Fujiko can conceive of. Maybe it was skeletal.]

[Anyway she bites a knuckle to try to hold back the screams and would-be terror.]

Malnosso? [Hey no easy feat around knuckles in her mouth. She's not Zoro, okay?]

[Okay. She will take her hand out of her mouth and hopefully thinks won't start getting more surreal around her. She can do without getting sucked into mirrors or whatever post-Halloween trauma the universe and karma just has to have in store for her.]

Oh, well they're very nice lyrics. Want to take over writing the song?

Although I guess it'd be hard as a cat.... Ahahahahhahaha.... [Yeah that laugh is not fooling anyone. A little too high-pitched and forced. Yikes.]

[Robin takes pity on her and the third eye disappears in a small burst of petals. Really it's not that frightening and Robin can be more frightening if she chooses but who knows why people are afraid of things]

No it would be too tedious as I am now. [She flicks her tail irritably.] Why are you writing it?

I kind of forget. [Small frown.]

I think to see if I could. But music... has never been my strong point. It seems like there ought to be a protest song for the draft here, but I'm better with songs that have already been made, you know?

So why not pick a song from the ones you know? Surely there is one appropriate.

[If not, perhaps Brook would know of one]

I tried. None of them were personal enough. And even that... those songs aren't really ones I know a lot of. Except the Beatles.

I know someone who knows many songs. Perhaps I can ask him for help?

You do? Sure! Who?

His name is Brook. He is about nine-feet tall and has a very large afro. He is our musician.]

[And is also a skeleton, but of course, Robin figures, you'll find that out soon enough]

[9 Feet.]

[9 Feet.]

[9 Feet.]

[OKAY THIS ALONE MAKES HER TERRIFIED. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW THRILLED SHE WILL BE THAT HE IS A SKELETON? Worst cat ever.]

Nine feet tall? [Squeak.]

Yes.

[Is she afraid of tall people as well? No wonder she has so many traps. And really, Brook is only moderately tall]

A little more with his hair.

[It's not a full out phobia like cats, but she's well. Shocked.]

Your world is very strange.

[You know. DEVIL FRUITS ARE WEIRD. And the islands with their own magnetic and weather fields. But nine foot tall people? That's just extra weird. Even by Fujiko's crazy-ass standards. And this is a woman who rode on Nessie.]

Is it? There are taller.

[She shrugs]

I assume you have no giants where you are

[Since 9 feet is paltry in comparison]

None.

I think the world record sits at just over seven and a half and usually there are a lot of health problems with it.

Only 7 1/2?

[How surprising. She didn't know a world full of shorter people existed. Well surely a world without giants perhaps, at a stretch, but only 7 feet? How very strange.]

How odd. Are your Fishmen short as well?

[Since they tended to be taller than most average humans.]

[Shakes her head no.]

We don't have fishmen. And mermaids are... really really rare at best. Almost extinct. And they used to eat people.

[Did they? Or was that just standard propaganda? And it seems strange to her that there were mermaids and not Fishmen. But it is a different world so perhaps it is true]

How unfortunate.

[What a strange, sad little world you come from]

[Nods!]

I always wanted to ride a dinosaur.... [Wistful sigh, but no, this is true. Fujiko has the weirdest dreams.] Our world is pretty lacking in animal diversity. A lot of things have gone extinct and even a lot of the species left are endangered because of human hunters and habitat destruction. [SHE SAYS... despite being a city girl. Well, she's very contrary.]

They can be quite entertaining. The sauropods especially. Dinosaurs are mostly extinct however but live on a few islands still. It is truly sad about your world, though

[she rests her head in her paws

Perhaps you could move to another

[But she's not entirely serious about this]

Sauropods really?! [EXCITED. STRAW HATS. You live in a world with dinosaurs that still exist and never tell anyone?! WHY IS THIS.]

Hah... if only it was that easy, hm?
